[Verse 1]
Have you ever seen a bloody egg?
Glass in hand, lying up in bed
That's the time to sing this cowardly lullaby
And you ought to know why

[Chorus]
Lullaby to nightmares, whispered low
In the night where bat wings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die, wouldn't you like to try?

[Bridge]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

[Verse 2]
Have you ever heard the blackbird's song?
Summer days, all summer long
Underneath a shady tree, a shadow sitting next to me
And we stare at the sun

[Chorus]
Lullaby to nightmares, whisper low
In the night where bat wings flow
That's where all the frightmares go
When the elephants die, wouldn't you like to try?
